PARDosED.-A special telegram re-
ceivod by the CHEFrAIN Tuesday from
Fort Smith conveys the intelligence
that the president has pardoned Thos.
x. knight and the two parties who
were convicted with him. In his en-
dorsement, upon the application, the
president says: "Itis with much hesi-
tation that have determined to re-
lease these convicts from the conse-
quence of their somewhat rash act.
But am satisfied that rashness in
stead of malice or criminal intent char
acterized the homicide, and am very
much influenced in my action by con-
sidering the effect which might follow
the punishment Of an officer under le-
gal authority in the somewhat lawless
surroundings ofthe Indian Territory"
Is REGARD TO oUB FAin.-We cannot
too strongly urge upon our readers and
the people Of this country the impor-
tance Of attending and manifcsting an
interest in the Ninita fair, which is to
be held the last three days OF this
month. The benefits accruing are GER
tainly mutual, as the most casual con-
sideration will convince. Nothing will
stimulate activity and tend towar1
perfection MS rapidly as friendly com
petition and an interchange OF views
with people engaged in the same avo-
ton In this manner personal eN-
pertinent may in great measure be
avoided. with its consequent delay
and expense and the same ends be at
tanned. Tho premiums may not be
large, but they arc M liberal as the as
sociation can see its way clear to pay,
and thus far they have always been
paid in full. Whatever you have
that shows merit, take il with you 10
the fair, no matter il there be better
in the country. What has always
| been wanted is more exhibits in all
the classes. Let this want now and
hereafter be supplied.
TnE FoRr SMITH FAIR. We believe in
the efficacy of agricultural fairs. They
are OF vast benefit to every commuui-
ty in which they are held, aud they
are OF benefit to those who compete in
friendly rivalry for the premiums
awarded for best results. We have
seen this in our fairs, and We arc com
potent to judge results from practical
demonstration. The great agricultu-
raj, horticultural and stock fair which
begins in Fort Smith, October 18th,
and which will las, five days, will
prove one of the grandest events that
has ever occurred in this portion of
the country. Read carefully their al
yertisement in this number Of the
CnIEFrAIN. 1t will tell you all about
it and convince you that 1t wall pay
you well to take run over there and
enjoy the events OF the week. The
horse racing alone will set you wild
with delight, as there will be a num-
Der Of the most notable speeders in
the country present to compete for
first place. All in all, this will prove
the most attractive event of the kind
ever before held in the southwest, and
will be well worth the trouble and ex.
